Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan ' The Wetlands Technical Discipline Report(May 2004) that was prepared for the Strander Project identified wetland and wetland buffer impacts in the cities of Renton and ' Tukwila. The wetlands within the project area are listed in Table 4.1 in that report, and the fourteen wetlands and/or buffers that would be affected by the project are identified in Table 5.1. Project Impacts ' Direct adverse impacts to wetlands would occur during and as a result of the construction of the Roadway Overpass Proposed Action(Alternative 1). Impacts would include fill placement within the proposed railroad footprint and in numerous wetlands and buffers ' located along SW 27th Street (see Figures 5.1 through 5.4 in the Report). Approximately 2.02 acres of wetland impacts and 3.90 acres of buffer impacts would result from roadway improvements. Wetland impacts from fill placement would result in a decrease of wetland functions and values performed. These impacts are summarized in the table below, with subtotals provided for each of the two jurisdictions.

Data from Wetlands Technical Discipline Report(May 2004). See Table 5.1. 2. AC = acres, SF = square feet. ' 16-2 Perteet inc. ' The Project will provide full mitigation for these wetland impacts in accordance with applicable codes. Mitigation proposals will be subject to approval by the Corps of ' Engineers, State Department of Ecology (WDOE), and/or the City of Renton and City of Tukwila. ' Conceptual Mitigation Approach and Locations The Wetlands Technical Discipline Report discussed the regulatory approach of the local, state and federal regulatory authorities. The Proposed Action would incorporate measures ' to avoid and minimize effects to wetland resources where practicable while meeting the purpose and need of the project. However, 2.02 acres of unavoidable wetland impacts would result from the construction. ' To address impacts to wetlands, approximately 3.8 acres of wetland creation would be required, based on WDOE mitigation ratios (see Table 5.2 in the Report), but wetland ' enhancement could also be used as partial compensation for wetland impacts and would likely reduce the required amount of wetland creation as long as the proposed action ensures no net loss of wetlands. The use of wetland enhancement for compensation ' would be based on the amount of functional benefit that would be provided based on specific characteristics of the mitigation site. ' Wetland mitigation ratios established in the Tukwila and Renton Municipal Codes differ slightly from WDOE ratios, as represented in the table below: ' Wetland Impacts Wetland Creation Wetland Category Area (acres) WDOE Ratio Area Required (acres) ' Renton Category 2 Forested 0.004 3:1 0.016 Renton Category 3 Forested 0.012 1.5:1 0.018 Tukwila All Types) 2.006 1.5:1 3.009 ' TOTAL 2.022 3.043 ' Wetland buffer enhancement would also be required to compensate for buffer impacts of 3.9 acres. The extent of the buffer enhancement that would be required would be determined by each local jurisdiction, and is based on improving the functional attributes ' of the affected buffers. For example, the City of Renton requires that enhanced buffers be not less than 25 feet wide, with creation at a 1:1 ratio. The codes provide guidance for various combinations of wetland mitigation, creation, enhancement. ' Two locations on-site or near-site were identified during project planning as being potentially suitable for development of mitigation, and it is proposed that all or a majority ' of the mitigation be done at these sites. Both of these sites lie within the same drainage basin (Green Duwamish, WRIA #9) as the impacted sites. One site that is potentially suitable for mitigation is located on-site in the vicinity of the railroad tracks in the City of ' Tukwila. It is not known exactly how much area could be developed as wetland mitigation, and how much enhancement of existing wetland could be done, but ' Z 16-3 Perteet Inc. ' potentially a large portion (or all) of the total mitigation obligation could be met here. The site has the advantage of having other nearby wetlands, is located in an area where ' the existing use precludes much other development, and is on-site or adjacent to the location of the majority of the impacts. The second site is on property owned by the City of Renton near the proposed project area. The designation of some of this area as a wetland mitigation bank is currently being pursued by the Washington Dept. of Transportation, though approval for this has not yet ' been obtained. Were such a mitigation bank available now, credits generated from the bank could compensate for impacts associated with the proposed action. However, the delay creates a procedural difficulty in project permitting, because approval of mitigation at a site that may (but may not) be designated as a mitigation bank is not acceptable for Renton because of the future uncertainty. A deferral of the mitigation requirement (through a variance) would allow the procedural difficulty to be overcome, and the ' commitment to mitigation would ensure that the mitigation would be done when the mitigation bank site were approved, or at another site to be determined by Renton. t Should the area or site characteristics not be sufficient to meet all Tukwila mitigation needs at the Tukwila site, it is suggested that the remainder go to the future Renton mitigation banking site, which though not in Tukwila is near-site and would contribute to ' the overall benefit of the Green River/Black River/Springbrook Creek wetlands community. This approach might require special permission from the City of Tukwila. Alternatively, Tukwila city staff may have a suitable nearby site that could be used to ' fulfill the remaining requirement. A mitigation plan for addressing the unavoidable wetland impacts will be prepared and submitted prior to construction. A mitigation variance would be prepared should the future use of a wetlands mitigation bank be desired for part of the mitigation. 1 l 6-4 ' Pe rl Inc.

Extension City of Renton DRAFT 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Organization and Scope This report has been prepared by David Evans and Associates, Inc. (DEA) on behalf of the City of Renton to assess the potential impacts of the proposed Strander Boulevard Extension Project on wetlands. This report describes existing wetlands identified along the proposed alignment of the new roadway, roadway improvements, and the railroad tracks. The report also assesses the impacts to wetlands from constructing each of the Build alternatives and associated mitigation requirements. This information provides supporting information for the Environmental Assessment being prepared by Perteet Engineering Inc. 1.2 Study Area This Y project stud area is located within the jurisdictions of both the City of Renton and P J the City of Tukwila in Section 19, Township 23 North, Range 5 East; Sections 24 and 25, Township 23 North, Range 4 East; Section 30, Township 23 North, Range 5 East(see Location Map, Figure 1). Renton is located at the south end of Lake Washington on the edge of metropolitan and rural King County. Its location between Seattle, Tacoma, and Bellevue places Renton in the center of a region that is the economic hub of the state. Renton encompasses approximately 16.7 square miles. Renton and Tukwila are at the crossroads of a regional transportation network where seven state and interstate highways converge and which is central to national and international air traffic. The study area is sideways T-shape. It includes the area between the west side of the Interurban Trail and the east side of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF)railroad track. The study area is wider in the vicinity of Strander Boulevard because it is possible that the trail would be moved (see Figure 2). The southern boundary is south of a railroad spur heading northwest from the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR)mainline (the spur that crosses the Green River, not the short spur that serves adjacent businesses), which is about 1,700 feet south of Strander Boulevard. The spur would be the approximate takeoff point for a new UPRR mainline track that would replace the existing track. The new track would parallel the existing BNSF tracks. On the north end, the study area extends just past I-405 where the UPRR track begins to parallel the BNSF tracks.

From Oakesdale to East Valley Road, the expectation is to widen the existing roadway within the right-of-way limits. The new roadway would be five lanes with sidewalks and planter strips on both sides (See Figure 3). The intent is to keep the project within City right-of- way. 1.3 Project Background This project began with the formation of the Project Stakeholder Committee composed of public agencies and private businesses. Members of the committee have some insight concerning the needs of this project, opportunities that this project could promote, and potential transit and commuter rail improvements it could provide for the Tukwila commuter rail station. The Project Team facilitated Project Stakeholder Committee meetings with affected agencies, such as WSDOT; City of Renton; City of Tukwila; King County; and private businesses, including Boeing, BNSF, and UPRR. Concurrently, the Project Team reviewed existing information regarding the corridor and the existing environment and infrastructure within the project corridor. The Project Team assembled information about to potential corridor concepts, existing and projected traffic that would be generated by the proposed corridor improvements, affected environment, and costs. The Project Stakeholder Committee, formed by the City of Renton,became a source of guidance and input with regard to the information assembled for the potential corridor concepts by the Project Team. The role of this committee was to review and comment on the major study tasks and to recommend preferred concepts. The committee met seven times during this phase of the project and provided the Project Team their endorsement to the Project Team's preliminary recommendation for each of the three proposed segments: • Segment 1 —West Valley Highway to Oakesdale Avenue SW • Segment 2 —Oakesdale Avenue SW to East Valley Highway • Segment 3 —added access to SR 167 via East Valley Road At the conclusion of the study, the City of Renton determined that construction of Segments 1 and 2 by themselves would provide a vital cross-valley route and have substantial utility independent of Segment 3.

There were initially 13 potential concepts for Segment 1, 5 potential concepts for Segment 2, and 4 potential concepts for Segment 3. Each of these concepts was described in a conceptual level of detail. At this level of definition, the corridor improvements included sketches, key physical and operational features, functions, benefits, and potential impacts to the environment. The Project Team evaluated the concepts through a first-level screening, which was essentially a"fatal flaw" analysis. Concepts were recommended for elimination if they contained serious flaws, were likely to perform poorly, demonstrated an undesirable combination of performance and adverse impacts, or did not appear to meet the committee's committed goal for the project. Following the initial screening, a second screening was conducted on the concepts not eliminated. During the second-level screening, a more detailed evaluation was applied using additional criteria related to transportation performance, land use/social impacts, environmental impacts, and cost/feasibility. A final screening was conducted on the last remaining concepts using the same criteria as the second screening but with additional information collected, as well as the results of a traffic analysis on the effects of adding this east-west corridor between SW Grady Way and South 180th Street/SW 43rd Street. In addition, more detailed costs of the concepts were discussed and the potential for funding the concept and the overall financial viability of a concept were evaluated. During each of the evaluation screenings, the Project Stakeholder Committee was briefed on the evaluation. Upon endorsement by the Project Stakeholder Committee, the Project Team continued to the next level of evaluation. The final screening resulted in a preliminary recommendation for each segment by the Project Team. The Project Stakeholder Committee has concurred with this preliminary recommendation. 1.4 Project Purpose The purpose of this project is to improve travel speed, reliability, and access in the north Renton/south Tukwila area. This would be accomplished by adding a new roadway segment from Strander Boulevard to SW 27th Street and roadway improvements along SW 27th Street. This would result in a cross-valley link between West Valley Highway (SR 181) and East Valley Road via Strander Boulevard in Tukwila and SW 27th Street in Renton. Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 6 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton DRAFT 1.5 Project Need The proposed project would meet several needs important to both Renton and Tukwila. The project would: ' • Decrease travel time and increase reliability • Relieve congestion • Provide access to the future Sound Transit Tukwila Station • Improve freeway operation • Encourage transit-oriented development • Promote freight mobility and economic development 1.5.1 The Need to Decrease Travel Time and Increase Reliability The absence of a direct route to and from the project area between West Valley Highway and SR 167 results in extra travel time for freight shippers, transit vehicles, and general purpose vehicles. A grade-separated route crossing the UPRR and BNSF tracks would both decrease travel times and increase the certainty that vehicles would not be delayed by trains traveling through the area. 1.5.2 The Need to Relieve Congestion In order for traffic from Strander Boulevard to cross the UPRR and BNSF tracks and connect with East Valley Road, vehicles must either travel approximately .6 miles north on West Valley Highway to SW Grady Way and then east or go more than a mile south to SE 180th Street/SW 43rd Street before going east. In either case, the circuitous route causes unnecessary congestion that would be alleviated by a direct cross-valley connection. 1.5.3 The Need to Provide Access to the Future Sound Transit Tukwila Station The Boeing Longacres site currently facilitates one of south King County's highest proportions of vanpool users at a temporary Sound Transit station. The temporary station will eventually develop into the Sound Transit Tukwila Station and will become an important intermodal center for the South King County area. Current routes from the temporary facility to the freeway system are convoluted and congested. Improved access to this commuter rail station will encourage transit use, and help to relieve traffic congestion in the region. Improved access would result in shorter commute times for high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) users, and keep the use of alternative modes of transportation high. 1.5.4 The Need to Improve Freeway Operation Due to high traffic volumes, it is difficult for HOV and freight traffic on I-405, SW Grady Way, and SW 43rd Street to access important employment and industrial centers ' Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 7 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton DRAFT in the Green/Duwamish River valley. Bus movements across congested SR 167 traffic lanes between the inside HOV lanes and on- and off-ramps at the outside lanes increase travel times for HOVs and contribute to general purpose traffic congestion. By providing an additional cross-valley link, the proposed project would take some traffic off of I-405 and SR 167. 1.5.5 The Need to Encourage Transit-Oriented Development If the UPRR tracks are relocated to more closely parallel the BNSF tracks through the project area, additional land could be made available for economic development in Tukwila adjacent to the planned Sound Transit Tukwila commuter rail station. The location would be ideal for Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and would reinforce opportunities for development and growth within the Boeing Longacres site and surrounding areas. 1.5.6 The Need to Promote Freight Mobility and Economic Development Fast, reliable freight access to industrial areas in the Green/Duwamish River Valley is crucial to economic development in the area; without such access, businesses could suffer and may choose to relocate. The extension of Strander Boulevard from West Valley Highway(SR 181) to SW 27th Street would improve access to SR 167, thus providing an alternative to the existing freight routes in the area. In addition to reducing travel time, the new facility may also reduce congestion in the area by drawing vehicles from other truck routes, thus reducing the overall congestion level in the area. Additional access to the future development of the Boeing Longacres site is equally important to the economic development currently projected and being planned. Without improved local and through access, the rate at which new and existing businesses choose to locate or expand here is likely to be significantly reduced. 2.0 DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVES 2.1 Alternatives Considered Three action alternatives and a No Action alternative are evaluated in this report. The alternatives focus on a cross-valley link between West Valley Highway(SR 181) and East Valley Road that would begin at the signalized intersection of Strander Boulevard and West Valley Highway on the west and would terminate at the unsignalized intersection of SW 27th Street and East Valley Road on the east, a distance of 6,500 feet. At present, West Valley Highway to Oakesdale Avenue SW is an unimproved area with no roadway that directly connects Strander Boulevard with the area to the east. From Oakesdale Avenue SW to East Valley Road, there is an existing roadway approximately 3600 feet long. The project alternatives focus on strategies to cross the unimproved area, especially railroad tracks owned and operated by Union Pacific Railroad and Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway. 1 Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 8 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton DRAFT 2.1.1 No Action Alternative The No Action alternative would keep the project corridor as it currently exists. No new roadways would be constructed or improved in the corridor. The purpose and need for the project would not be met by the No Action alternative. 1 2.1.2 Alternative 1: Construction of a Roadway Overpass Cross-Valley Link, Relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad Track, and Modification of SW 27th Street to Five Lanes Alternative 1 would create a link between West Valley Highway(SR 181) and Oakesdale Avenue SW with a single overcrossing of both Union Pacific Railroad(UPRR) and Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway(BNSF) tracks. From Oakesdale Avenue SW to East Valley Road, SW 27th Street would be widened and includepedestrian facilities and landscaping. Alternative 1 would include five elements: • Relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad track New roadway construction from West Valley Highway to Oakesdale Avenue SW • Improvements to SW 27th Street • Modifications to the Interurban Trail • Modifications to South Longacres Way Relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad Track The UPRR track would be shifted to the east to parallel the existing two sets of BNSF track. To develop this alternative, a new railroad track would be constructed within a new 100-foot right-of-way adjacent to the BNSF right-of-way and then joined with the existing UPRR track at both ends of the project area. Approximately 5,500 feet of new track would be constructed at an elevation similar to that of the existing BNSF tracks. Construction would require placement of 125,000 cubic yards of earth and gravel for the new railroad bed. The new UPRR track would be located at the center of the new 100- foot right-of-way. Approximately the same amount of track and railroad bed would be removed from the existing UPRR location as will be constructed at the new UPRR track location. The railroad bed material would be disposed of at an approved location or reused as a construction fill material. ' Construction would be sequenced so that disruption of railroad service would be avoided or minimized. With this alternative, the new UPRR track can be constructed while service is continuing on the old track. When the new track is completed, UPRR train ' traffic would be moved to the new track, the existing UPRR track and railroad bed would be removed, and construction of the roadway overpass would begin. r 1 Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 9 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton DRAFT New Roadway Construction from West Valley Highway to Oakesdale Avenue SW A new roadway would be constructed from the intersection of West Valley Highway(SR 181) and Strander Boulevard to the intersection of Oakesdale Avenue SW and SW 27th Street. The roadway alignment would be an extension of Strander Boulevard and curve (see Figure 2.3) to match up with the existing alignment of SW 27th Street. Alternative 1 would feature an overpass that would be constructed over the two existing BNSF tracks and the new UPRR track. The overpass would provide vertical clearance of 17 feet and include four travel lanes, a sidewalk on the north side, and a shared use path (combined bicycle/pedestrian path) on the south side for pedestrians and bicycles. From West Valley Highway to the overpass, the roadway would consist of five lanes (four thru lanes and a two-way left turn lane), landscaped strips, a sidewalk on the north side, and a shared use path on the south side. Bicycle facilities would be provided in either combined travel lanes/bicycle lanes or as a shared use path. The landscaped strips would be provided between the traveled way and the pedestrian facilities, and in some locations where a two-way left turn lane is not needed, a landscaped median would be provided. The overpass would not have the two-way left turn lane and planter strips. From the overpass east to Oakesdale Avenue SW, the same five-lane roadway, landscape strips, and pedestrian/bicycle facilities would be constructed. This section (including the roadway,pedestrian facilities and landscaped strips)would be 90 feet wide from back of sidewalk to back of sidewalk, staying, for the most part,within the appropriate existing City-owned right-of-way. The new roadway construction would result in three new intersections between West Valley Highway to Oakesdale Avenue SW. There would be one intersection at the future Sound Transit Tukwila Station access road, and two intersections that would result from access roads to the Boeing Longacres site. New traffic signals would be installed at each of these intersections. rImprovements to SW 27th Street The existing section of roadway between Oakesdale Avenue SW and East Valley Road would be widened to match that of the new roadway segment to the west (five lanes, landscaping strips, and pedestrian/bicycle facilities on each side). The section would be 90 feet wide from back of sidewalk to back of sidewalk, staying, for the most part, within existing City-owned right-of-way. At some locations where there are space constraints or the need to avoid wetland impacts, the planter strip may be eliminated. Portions of the north side and south side of the proposed improvements may require a 3-to 8-foot block or rock wall at the back of the sidewalk to minimize impacts to the adjacent wetlands. A handrail would be required along the top of these wall sections. Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 10 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton r DRAFT Modifications to the Interurban Trail The new roadway segment linking West Valley Highway and Oakesdale Avenue SW would cut across the Interurban Trail. As a result, it would be necessary to construct a new means of making the trail continuous. The least obtrusive and preferred route is to have an at-grade crossing at either West Valley Highway or at the future Tukwila Station access road intersection. On the north side and the south side of the roadway, trail users would be routed onto the new bicycle/pedestrian facilities along the roadway, directed toward the intersection, cross the intersection, and then be directed back to the existing trail. Modifications to South Longacres Way South Longacres Way,which is approximately 1,700 feet north of the intersection of Strander Boulevard and West Valley Highway, is bridged by the UPRR track and the BNSF tracks. It currently provides access to the temporary Sound Transit commuter rail parking area. The existing railroad bridges over South Longacres Way are narrow and have clearances that are below the minimum requirements. As a result of this project, if South Longacres Way were to continue to remain open, improvements would have to be made to provide minimum vertical clearances. A new UPRR bridge structure would have to be built, improvements would need to be made to the BNSF bridge structure, and the vertical profile of South Longacres Way would have to be lowered. 2.1.3 Alternative 2: Construction of a Roadway Underpass Cross-Valley Link, Relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad Track, and Modification of SW 27th Street to Five Lanes Alternative 2 would create a link between West Valley Highway and Oakesdale Avenue SW with a single underpass of both the UPRR and BNSF tracks. As described previously for Alternative 1, the UPRR track would be relocated to the east to parallel the existing BNSF tracks. The roadway would be the same as Alternative 1 and have the same five elements as Alternative 1, listed below: • Relocation of the UPRR track • New roadway construction from West Valley Highway to Oakesdale Avenue SW • Improvements to SW 27th Street • Modifications to the Interurban Trail • Modifications to South Longacres Way Relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad Track This project element would be the same as for Alternative 1; however, construction sequencing would be different. 1 Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 11 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton DRAFT tConstruction would be sequenced so that disruption of railroad service would be avoided or minimized. The construction of the new railroad track and the roadway underpass (see new roadway construction subsection below) would also be constructed simultaneously. When the new track is completed, train traffic from the western BNSF tracks would be temporarily shifted to the new track and construction of the underpass beneath the unused tracks would take place. After completion of the second section of the underpass, train traffic from the eastern BNSF track would be temporarily shifted to the western track, and the third section of the underpass would be constructed under the eastern BNSF track. When the underpass is completed, BNSF train traffic would be shifted back to their two original tracks, and UPRR train traffic would be relocated to the new track, and the existing UPRR track and railroad bed would then be removed. New Roadway Construction from West Valley Highway to Oakesdale Avenue SW This project element would be the same as Alternative 1, except that an underpass of all three railroad tracks (the relocated track used by UPRR and the two BNSF tracks) would be constructed rather than an overpass. The underpass would provide 17 feet of clear distance between the roadway and the bottom of the bridge structure and would contain all of the same roadway elements as in Alternative 1. Other elements of Alternatives would be walls along the underpass and in other various locations and the construction of water quality treatment and detention facilities. The underpass section would include a pump system to remove the accumulated rainwater. Improvements to SW 27th Street 1 This project element would be the same as for Alternative 1. Modifications to the Interurban Trail This project element would be the same as for Alternative 1. Modifications to South Longacres Way This project element would be the same as for Alternative 1. 2.1.4 Alternative 3: Construction of a Roadway Underpass Cross-Valley Link, Union Pacific Railroad Track Not Relocated, and Modification of SW 27th Street to Five Lanes As with Alternative 2, Alternative 3 would create a link between West Valley Highway and Oakesdale Avenue SW with a single underpass of both the UPRR and BNSF tracks. Alternative 3 differs from Alternatives 1 and 2because the UPRR track would not be relocated to the east to parallel the existing BNSF tracks. For this alternative, the UPRR r track would remain in their existing location. The roadway would be the same as that for Alternative 2 and would have most of the same elements as Alternative 2: Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 12 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton DRAFT New roadway construction from West Valley Highway to Oakesdale Avenue SW Improvements to SW 27th Street • Modifications to the Interurban Trail • Modifications to South Longacres Way New Roadway Construction from West Valley Highway to Oakesdale Avenue SW Under Alternative 3, this project element would be the same as Alternative 2 except that the length of the underpass would be longer because of the different location of the railroad structures. The longer underpass would result in the purchase and modification to the existing parcels and businesses on the northeast and southeast corners of the intersection of Strander and West Valley Highway. Changes would have to be made to these lots so that the driveways could match into the new roadway, which would be at a lower elevation than the existing roadway. All other elements of the project that would result from the Alternative 3 would be the same as Alternative 2. Improvements to SW 27th Street This project element would be the same as for Alternative 1. Modifications to the Interurban Trail This project element would be the same as for Alternative 1. Modifications to South Longacres Wa g y With Alternative 3, there would be no required modifications to South Longacres Way because no changes would be made to the existing UPRR or BNSF tracks. 3.0 METHODOLOGY AND COORDINATION 3.1 Evaluation Criteria This study was conducted to determine the extent and classification of wetlands that occur in and adjacent to the proposed project area. Potential direct wetland impacts such as fill or disturbance to wetland buffers from proposed construction were assessed. Potential indirect impacts to wetlands, such as post-construction disturbance, and potential mitigation opportunities were identified. 3.2 Approach to Analyses ' 3.2.1 Preliminary Research Published information about local wetland conditions was reviewed for known occurrences in the project vicinity. The information reviewed included: Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 13 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton DRAFT • National Wetlands Inventory(NWI). Renton Quadrangle, United States Department of Interior—Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). 1988 (see Appendix A). • United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (SCS). Soil Survey of King County Area Washington. 1973 (see Appendix A). • City of Renton. Rivers, Streams, and Wetlands. 2003. • City of Tukwila. Sensitive Areas Map. 1995. 3.2.2 Field Investigation DEA biologists conducted an onsite investigation of the proposed project area on June 4, 5, 10, 11, and 16, 2003, to document wetland conditions. Wetlands were identified on the basis of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and evidence of wetland hydrology as described in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual (Ecology 1997) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and subsequent U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps of Engineers) guidance. Hydrophytic vegetation (i.e., plants adapted to saturated soil conditions) was determined to be present when dominant cover of plants observed had an indicator status of facultative (FAC), facultative wetland (FACW), or obligate wetland (OBL) (Reed 1988). Plant species were identified following Hitchcock and Cronquist (1973), but updated nomenclature was used where known. Hydric soils were determined on the basis of organic matter content, appropriate chroma, and presence of redoxymorphic features or other hydric characteristics as stated in the methodology. Wetland hydrology was verified by presence or evidence of standing or flowing water, saturated soil, oxidized root channels, or other positive hydrologic indicators. Wetland hydrology, if not directly observed, was assumed to be present in areas where indicators of local inundation were observed. Indicators of inundation include but are not limited to drainage patterns,water-stained leaves,water marks, and drift lines. Data were collected on vegetation, soils, and hydrology at each data plot and recorded on data forms (Appendix B). If all three criteria were present, then a wetland determination was made. If one or more of the criteria were absent, then the area was designated non- wetland unless determined to be a problem area or atypical situation according to the methodologies (Environmental Laboratory 1987; Ecology 1997). Wetlands were delineated between the UPRR tracks and the Interurban Trail, in all areas between the UPRR and BNSF tracks, and within 50 feet of the edge of pavement along SW 27th Street. Wetland boundaries and data plot locations were marked with flagging then surveyed and mapped by land surveyors. All wetland boundaries are subject to verification by the City of Tukwila, City of Renton, and/or the Corps of Engineers. Wetlands were classified according to the local city ordinances and rated using the ' Washington State Department of Ecology(Ecology) Rating System (1993). Wetland buffer widths were determined based on wetland class. Impacts to wetlands and wetland buffers were quantified by determining the area that occurs within the project footprint. Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 14 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton DRAFT 3.3 Avoidance and Minimization Potential opportunities for avoidance were identified. Best professional judgement was used to determine the feasibility of altering the proposed alignment to avoid wetlands or using retaining walls and other engineering tools to minimize wetland impacts. Avoidance measures that were considered include: • Using retaining walls to reduce or eliminate lateral extensions of road embankment slopes into wetlands • Using guardrails to increase the grade of embankments and avoid wetland fill • Using buried stormwater detention facilities to avoid placement in wetlands or wetland buffers • The limits of existing ROW limited design options for improvements to SW 27th Street. The railroad relocation design is restricted by where shooflies would work based on maximum curvatures and clearances that are necessary to maintain safety and speed limit requirements. The location of the Sound Transit temporary station also influenced railroad design. Available locations to construct stormwater facilities are also restricted by ROW limits. Wetlands occur along much of the SW 27th Street corridor, so wetland impacts would be unavoidable. These wetland impacts would be on the south side of SW 27th Street between Oakesdale Avenue SW and Lind Avenue. Of the four options explored, stormwater treatment design incorporated the most expensive option to achieve the least amount of wetland encroachment. Placing ponds as close to the road as practicable would ' minimize wetland impacts. Proposed ponds would abut the road and sidewalk areas. 3.4 Coordination with Agencies and Jurisdictions Roadway construction and operation activities that affect wetlands are subject to federal, state, and local agency approvals. Agencies having jurisdiction over development activities that affect wetlands include, but are not limited to, the Corps of Engineers, Ecology, the City of Renton, and the City of Tukwila. The Corps of Engineers administers Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,which regulates the discharge of dredged or fill materials and other activities in wetlands. Ecology has review and approval authority for many federal, state, and local permits. The City of Renton and City of Tukwila sensitive area regulations define development parameters in and around wetlands. 3.5 Policies and Approvals ' Compliance with federal, state, and local permits,plans, and policies is partially provided for through the environmental review process conducted under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Listed below are permits, plans, and policies relating ' to wetland resources that must be considered prior to and/or during construction and operation of the proposed alternatives. Permits requirements and administration may vary depending on jurisdiction, funding source, and other project-specific parameters. Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 15 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton DRAFT 3.5.1 Federal The following list outlines federal laws, regulations, guidelines, and orders that pertain to wetland protection: • Clean Water Act (33 United States Code [USC] 1251 et seq.) • Regulatory Programs of the Corps of Engineers (33 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 320-331) • Guidelines for the Specification of Disposal Sites for Dredged and Fill Material (a.k.a. 404(b)(1) Guidelines), (40 CFR Part 230) • Memorandum of Agreement Between the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of the Army Concerning the Determination of Mitigation Under the Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines (February 6, 1990) • Council on Environmental Quality Procedures for Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR Part 1500-1508) • Executive Order 11990 (Protection of Wetlands) 3.5.2 State The following list outlines state laws, regulations, and authorities that pertain to wetland protection. The list is not all-inclusive, but outlines some laws and regulations that could apply depending on project-specific parameters. Washington State Department of Ecology: Ecology is responsible for several laws and regulations pertaining to wetlands habitat by protecting wetlands, and water and air quality. Specifically, Ecology manages CWA Section 402 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general stormwater permits, shoreline substantial development permits, coastal zone management certificates, CWA Section 404 for isolated wetlands not under jurisdiction of the Corps, state waste discharge permits, and several other related permits. Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WDNR): The WDNR primarily manages aquatic beds and state lands capable of supporting timber. The WDNR manages aquatic beds through easements and aquatic resource use authorizations. State lands are managed through the forest practices application and mining permits. Alternative Mitigation Policy Guidance Interagency Implementation Agreement between WSDOT, Ecology, and the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) (February 2000) Washington Shoreline Management Act(SMA) was adopted in 1972 "to prevent the inherent harm in an uncoordinated and piecemeal development of the state's shorelines." While cities and counties are the primary regulators, Ecology provides technical assistance and reviews local programs and permit decisions. Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 16 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton DRAFT 3.5.3 Local Local jurisdictions manage wetlands and their buffers through sensitive area regulations and associated development codes. This may include management of the State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA), wetland and groundwater protection, stormwater facility design standards, clearing and grading permits, shorelines of the state, floodplain development, and noise permits. The City of Renton and City of Tukwila were consulted for information on wetlands known to occur in the proposed project area. Municipal codes for each city define the wetland classification system and required buffer widths. 4.0 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 4.1 Project Area Overview ' The proposed project study area is located within the Green/Duwamish River Watershed —Water Resource Inventory Area(WRIA) 9. The project is within the Springbrook Creek subbasin located east of the mainstem Green River in the vicinity of Renton and Tukwila, Washington. Adjacent land use includes urban and industrial development (see Figure 4). Wetlands within the project study area generally fall into two categories: (1) linear palustrine wetlands characterized as ditch features along the railroad and (2) large palustrine wetlands with a forested component located along SW 27th Street.

These wetlands were classified as ' palustrine emergent (PEM) following the USFWS classification system (Cowardin et al. 1979). Other wetlands along the railroad were identified as palustrine shrub-scrub (PSS), and palustrine forested (PFO) classes (see Table 4.1). These wetlands were primarily dominated by red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea), Pacific willow (Salix lucida ssp lasiandra), black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), and red alder(Alnus rubra), with Himalayan blackberry and reed canarygrass occurring along their edges.

All wetlands located along the SW 27th Street corridor were named by including "27" as a prefix (see Table 4.1). On the south side of the street, wetlands typically have a forested edge composed of red alder, willow, and cottonwood, with an emergent component dominated by reed canarygrass or cattails (Typha latifolia) inside of its tree ' line. Common shrub species occurring beneath the tree canopy include red-osier dogwood, salmonberry(Rubus spectabilis), and willows (Salix spp.). Wetland 27D is the only wetland along SW 27th Street that does not have a forested component, as it is a wetland mitigation site with young woody plants classified as PSS. Maintained planter strips with ornamental plantings are also present throughout SW 27th Street. Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 19 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton 1 ' DRAFT The uplands consist of both open grass fields and deciduous forest. The open grass fields are typically clear of shrubs, often mowed, and dominated by Himalayan blackberry, tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), orchard grass (Dactylis gomerata), quackgrass (Elymus repens), and bluegrass (Poa spp.). Red alder and black cottonwood dominate forested areas, while mature big-leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) and Douglas-fir(Pseudotsuga menziesii) trees are scattered throughout. The shrub layer is diverse and varies considerably depending on location,but common species include beaked hazelnut (Corylus conruta),Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana), red elderberry(Sambucus racemosa), and thimbleberry(Rubus parviflorus). 4.1.2 Soils The King County Soil Survey describes five soil types in the project study area: Newberg silt loam, Puget silty clay loam, Woodinville silt loam, Snohomish silt loam, and Urban ' Land (SCS 1973). The Puget, Woodinville, and Snohomish series are listed as hydric soils (SCS 1991). The Newberg series is made up of well-drained soils, and urban land is described as soil that has been modified by the addition of fill material (SCS 1973). Outside of urban land, each soil series is known to form in alluvium of river valleys, stream valleys, or stream bottoms. 4.1.3 Hydrology Y gY The primary sources of hydrology associated with ditch-like wetlands along the railroad corridor are precipitation and overland sheet flow or stormwater runoff from adjacent uplands primarily composed of fill material. These wetlands are considered isolated because they were likely created during construction of the railroad tracks and have no surface water connection to other wetlands or streams. Other wetlands along the railroad tracks, especially those farthest south and closest to the Green River are influenced by groundwater and potentially associated with the hyporheic zone of the river. It is likely that these wetlands had a surface water connection to the Green River during flood events prior to the construction of the West Valley Highway and Interurban Trail, both which parallel the railroad tracks and occur between the river and proposed project area. The primary source of wetland hydrology along SW 27th Street is groundwater inflow. Stormwater runoff associated with precipitation events is another primary contributor, which is typical in urban areas with extensive impervious surfaces. Stormwater drainage facilities such as catch basins along the road were observed as providing stormwater connectivity to wetlands. However, these primarily large wetlands extend quite far outside the project study area and are also influenced by the presence of floodplain and groundwater input due to their low topographical position relative to the watershed. Most wetlands along SW 27th Street are within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) mapped floodplain associated with Springbrook Creek, but floodplain influence ' has been reduced due to urban development and related activities. Significant floodplain modifications are primarily due to the Black River Pump Station, which prevents high 1 Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 20 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton DRAFT flows from the Green River from backing up into the Black River and Springbrook Creek. 4.1.4 Topography ' The topography varies little along the proposed alignment given its location within the Green/Duwamish River valley. The U. S. Geological Survey(USGS) map that includes the proposed project area does not depict contour lines anywhere along the proposed alignment except for contour lines delineating railroad beds. Approximate elevation within the proposed project area is 20 feet above mean sea level. ' 4.2 Wetland Categories and Ranking Twenty-nine wetlands were delineated in the project area. Of these, 18 wetlands may be impacted and/or have buffer impacts from one or more of the Build alternatives. Each of these 18 wetlands were rated using the local jurisdiction classification system and rated using the Ecology Rating System (1993) (see Table 4.1). Rating and classification systems divide wetland categories based upon an analysis of their ecological condition and ability to perform wetland-related functions. Category I and Type 1 wetlands are of the highest quality,while the highest numbers indicate degraded wetlands that are small in size and/or hydrologically isolated. Wetlands, buffers, and riparian areas in the proposed project area have been degraded from past logging and agricultural activities as well as urban and industrial development. Photographs of these wetlands are provided in Appendix B. 4.3 Wetland Descriptions 4.3.1 Wetlands A, H, I, J, P, and S Wetlands A, H, I, J, P, and S are characterized as ditch features along the railroad tracks. Each of these wetlands is dominated by reed canarygrass, with Himalayan blackberry ' along the edges. One exception is Wetland P, which is predominantly forested with a young stand of cottonwood and Pacific willow. The wetlands are hydrologically isolated and are driven by precipitation and surface water runoff from the railroad and adjacent areas of fill. These isolated wetlands do not appear to fall under the jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers through Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. However, the Corps of Engineers has the ultimate authority in making Section 404 jurisdictional determinations. No other wetlands within the proposed alignment were determined to be isolated. Saturation was observed 10 inches and 12 inches below the soil surface in Wetlands I and J,respectively. Direct observations of wetland hydrology were otherwise lacking at each 1 wetland during the field visit, which occurred during the dry season. However, the presence of oxidized rhizospheres, drainage patterns, water-stained leaves, and the low topographical position of the ditch features provided evidence that these wetlands are ' saturated during the wet portion of the growing season. Low-chroma(1 or 2) soil matrix colors and distinct redoximorphic features were present directly underlying the A-horizon in soil test-pits at each wetland data plot (see Appendix Q. Functions provided by these Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 21 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton DRAFT wetlands are limited to nutrient, toxicant, and sediment removal and low levels of flood flow alteration. All of these wetlands were rated as Category IV following Ecology's ' rating system because they are isolated and almost entirely covered in reed canarygrass. However, Wetland P is a Category III because of its forested component and species composition. Ecology rating forms are provided as Appendix D. 4.3.2 Wetland B ' Wetland B is located between the UPRR track and the Interurban Trail. A portion of the wetland is dominated by reed canarygrass and climbing nightshade (Solanum dulcamara). However, the majority of the wetland is forested with predominant species including Pacific willow, cottonwood, and red-osier dogwood. This wetland is farther south than others near the proposed action footprint and is closer to the Green River. Soils and hydrology indicate that a hydrologic connection was once present through a surface water connection to the river despite the presence of a constructed berm, roadway, and trail between the two resources. Drainage patterns and water-stained leaves confirmed wetland hydrology, while low-chroma soils with distinct redoximorphic features in the B-horizon of the soil test-pit confirmed the presence of hydric soils. Functions provided by this wetland include flood flow alteration, nutrient,toxicant, and sediment removal, and habitat for birds and mammals. Wetland B is a Category III wetland following Ecology's rating system because of its size, hydrologic connectivity to other wetlands, and relatively high plant species and structural diversity but relatively ' low habitat value. 4.3.3 Wetlands Q and R Wetlands Q and R are located between the BNSF and UPRR tracks. The two wetlands are connected and were evaluated as the same wetland for classification and buffer-width assignment. However, the portion constituting Wetland R contains PEM and PSS classes and is evidently a wetland mitigation site based on the large amount of newly installed trees and shrubs. The portion constituting Wetland Q is characterized by its mature forested component dominated by cottonwood, Pacific willow, and red-osier dogwood. Excavated ditch features dominated by reed canarygrass along the railroad tracks ' comprise the edges of Wetland Q. Principal functions include nutrient, toxicant, and sediment removal, as well as habitat for amphibians, mammals, and birds. Wetland Q/R is a Category II wetland following Ecology's rating system because of its size, hydrologic connectivity to other wetlands, relatively high plant species diversity and habitat value, and multiple wetland classes. Despite the presence of a mature forest, the extent of invasive grasses precluded the wetland's ability to qualify as Category I. r4.3.4 Wetland T Wetland T is a linear ditch feature located along the west edge of the BNSF railroad tracks. The shape, location, and concrete outlet structure indicate that the wetland was likely developed as part of a stormwater management facility. Standing water was ' Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 22 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton ' DRAFT present throughout the wetland, as well as a diverse number of emergent obligate wetland plants. Principal wetland functions include nutrient, toxicant, and sediment removal; ' flood flow alteration; and amphibian habitat. Wetland T is a Category III wetland following Ecology's rating system because it is not isolated and has relatively high plant species diversity but relatively low habitat value. 4.3.5 Wetland 27A Wetland 27A is located at the southwest corner of Oakesdale Avenue SW and SW 27th Street and extends offsite. The wetland is forested primarily along the perimeter by willows. However, reed canarygrass and cattails are the predominant species inside the tree line. Drainage patterns and oxidized rhizospheres provided evidence of wetland hydrology, while low-chroma matrix color and redoximorphic features within 12 inches of the soil surface confirmed the presence of hydric soils. Wetland 27A functions include nutrient, toxicant, and sediment removal; habitat for mammals and birds; and low levels of flood flow alteration. It is a Category II wetland following Ecology's rating system because of its hydrologic connectivity to other wetlands and relatively high scores for ' habitat value. 4.3.6 Wetland 27C Wetland 27C is forested with an open water component. The wetland is connected to Wetland 27B, a wetland mitigation site located outside of the proposed project area. Dominant species include cottonwood, Pacific willow, Douglas spiraea, Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia), and reed canarygrass. Free water at 4 inches and soil matrix color with a chroma of 1 between 3 and 16 inches below the soil surface confirmed the presence of hydric soils and wetland hydrology. Principal functions and values of Wetland 27C include nutrient, toxicant, and sediment removal; habitat for amphibians, mammals, and birds; and educational value. It is a Category II wetland because of its hydrologic connectivity to other wetlands and relatively high scores for habitat value. 1 4.3.7 Wetland 27D Wetland 27D is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Oakesdale Avenue ' SW and SW 27th Street. The wetland was likely part of a larger wetland system that is now separated by an earthen berm to the east and south, and by the adjacent roads to the west and north. The wetland is forested by red alder and willow,but its habitat value is limited by the lack of structural and species diversity as well as its small size. The principal functions of this Category III wetland following Ecology's rating system include nutrient, toxicant, and sediment removal. 4.3.8 Wetlands 27E, 27F, and 27G ' Wetlands 27E, 27F, and 27G are located on the south side of SW 27th Street and extend a great distance offsite. While each of these wetlands is hydrologically contiguous with Springbrook Creek, Wetlands 27E and 27F comprise one wetland system west of the ' Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 23 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton ' DRAFT creek and Wetland 27G is east of the Creek. A wetland restoration area is located between Wetlands 27E and 27F where an old roadbed was removed. Both of these ' wetlands have forested and emergent components. Based on aerial photographs, it appears that offsite portions of this wetland system contain scrub-shrub, open water, and aquatic bed habitat. Red alder and willow characterize the forested portions of these wetlands. However, large areas are dominated by reed canarygrass. Installed plantings are present near Springbrook Creek, and cattail is predominant near the intersection of Lind Avenue and SW 27th Street. The high groundwater table and adjacent creek ' provide hydrology to the wetland system. Hydric soils were determined by low-chroma matrix colors with distinct redoximorphic features in the upper 12 inches of the soil profile. ' Principal functions and values of Wetlands 27E, 27F, and 27G include flood flow alteration; production and export of organic matter; nutrient, toxicant, and sediment removal; habitat for amphibians,mammals, and birds; and educational value. These wetlands are rated as Category II following Ecology's rating system because of their hydrologic connectivity to other wetlands and relatively high scores for habitat value. Despite the presence of a mature forest, the extent of invasive grasses precluded these wetlands from qualifying as Category I. This evaluation relied on the extrapolation of observations made within the project study area, aerial photographs, and other available ' data because large portions of these wetlands are located outside of the project study area. 4.3.9 Wetland 27H Wetland 27H is associated with a reservoir and is characterized as open water with a forested fringe. The wetland extends outside the project study area. However, red alder, Pacific willow, and red-osier dogwood dominate the portion in the project study area. Oxidized rhizospheres and water-stained leaves indicated the presence of wetland ' hydrology, while the presence of low-chroma matrix colors and distinct redoximorphic features between 2 and 16 inches below the soil surface confirmed the presence of hydric soils. Principal functions and values of Wetland 27H include habitat for amphibians, ' birds, and mammals and education/scientific value. Wetland 27H is a Category III wetland following Ecology's rating system because of its size, hydrologic connectivity to other wetlands, relatively high plant species and structural diversity, and high habitat value. Despite the presence of a mature forest, the extent of invasive grasses precluded the wetland's ability to qualify as Category I. This 1 evaluation relied on the extrapolation of observations made within the project study area, aerial photographs, and other available data because large portions of the wetland are located outside of the study area. ' 4.3.10 Wetland 27I ' Wetland 27I is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Lind Avenue and SW 27th Street. The wetland is surrounded by roads and industrial development and appears to collect stormwater runoff from adjacent areas. Cottonwood, Pacific willow, red alder, ' Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 24 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton ' DRAFT ' and red-osier dogwood are predominant in this forested wetland. The presence of hydric soils and wetland hydrology are indicated by a soil matrix chroma of 2 with distinct ' redoximorphic features between 2 and 16 inches and observation of free water at 10 inches below the soil surface. Principal functions of this wetland include nutrient and toxicant removal (due to the likely sources of these pollutants) and the ability of the ' wetland to collect runoff. Wetland 27I is a Category III wetland following Ecology's rating system because of its hydrologic connectivity to other wetlands, and relatively high plant species and structural diversity but relatively low habitat value. ' 4.3.11 Wetland 27J ' Wetland 27J is a forested wetland located on the north side of SW 27th Street adjacent to the east bank of Springbrook Creek. Dominant species of this forested wetland include cottonwood, Pacific willow, red-osier dogwood, thimbleberry, and reed canarygrass. Oxidized rhizospheres and water-stained leaves indicated the presence of wetland hydrology, while the presence of low-chroma matrix colors and distinct redoximorphic features between 2 and 16 inches below the soil surface confirmed the presence of hydric soils. Principal functions and values of Wetland 27J include flood flow alteration; production ' and export of organic matter; habitat for amphibians, mammals, and birds; and educational value. Fragmentation caused by urban and industrial development have reduced the size and habitat connectivity associated with this wetland. However, structural and species diversity of the plant community within Wetland 27J provides important functions to fish and wildlife habitat. ' Wetland 27J is a Category II wetland following Ecology's rating system because of its hydrologic connectivity to other wetlands and relatively high scores for habitat value. ' Despite the presence of a mature forest, the extent of invasive grasses precluded the wetland's ability to qualify as Category I. This evaluation relied on the extrapolation of observations made within the project study area, aerial photographs, and other available data because large portions of the wetland are located outside of the project study area. 5.0 IMPACT ANALYSIS Wetland impacts are discussed by alternative and shown in Figures 5.1 through 5.3 for alternatives 1 and 2 and in Figures 6.1 through 6.3 for Alternative 3. Impacts for each alternative were estimated to the nearest square foot. However, the ability to quantify wetland impacts is limited by the preliminary level of project design. Although impact areas are subject to change slightly while project design is finalized, information provided below allows a comparison to be made among the alternatives. ' Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 25 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton t DRAFT R FT 5.1 No Action Alternative No direct or indirect impacts to wetlands or their buffers are expected to occur under the No Action alternative. However, ongoing impacts to wetlands would continue to occur ' as nonproject-related activity and development continues in and around the proposed project area. ' 5.2 Alternative 1: Construction of a Roadway Overpass Cross-Valley Link, Relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad Track, and Modification of SW 27th Street to Five Lanes ' The existing project footprint is partially developed in the vicinity of Strander Boulevard and SW 27th Street.

Few wetlands are present between SW 27th Street and the railroad tracks where Strander Boulevard would be extended. ' Approximately 3.90 acres of wetland impacts and 2.02 acres of buffer impacts would result from roadway improvements.

The indirect adverse impacts to wetlands from Alternative 1 would affect wetland functions through wildlife habitat degradation, water quality and quantity degradation from increased stormwater runoff and sediment/toxicant input, and increased human disturbance. Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 33 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton 1 DRAFT Wildlife habitat impacts would occur as a result of habitat loss and fragmentation. Wildlife habitat in the proposed project area is currently fragmented, but proposed project-related activities would cause further fragmentation. Increased stormwater runoff would result from the increase in new impervious surface in the proposed project area. Wetlands often become receiving waters for stormwater runoff, which typically causes a change in hydroperiod. Water quality could be affected by stormwater runoff, which may carry roadway pollutants such as sediment and toxicants. However, stormwater treatment and detention facilities would minimize these impacts. Transportation projects typically increase human access to formally inaccessible areas. The level of noise and activity may increase, thus inhibiting wetland use by some wildlife species. Cumulative impacts are caused from the incremental effect of the proposed alternative when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions. Based on this definition, the cumulative impacts in the proposed project area have already been extensive and will continue regardless of which alternative is chosen. However, the implementation of Alternative 1 would lead to additional adverse impacts to wetlands in the proposed project area as it becomes more feasible to develop land as a result of improved access. 5.2.3 Mitigation Measures ' Alternative 1 would incorporate avoidance and minimization measures wherepracticable, rp while meeting the purpose and need of the project. However, 2.02 acres of unavoidable wetland impacts would result from the construction of Alternative 1. Approximately 3.8 acres of wetland creation would be required based on Ecology mitigation ratios (see Table 5.2). Wetland enhancement could also be used as partial compensation for wetland impacts and would likely reduce the required amount of wetland creation as long as the proposed action ensures no net loss of wetlands. The use of wetland enhancement for ' compensation should be based on the amount of functional benefit that would be provided based on specific characteristics of the mitigation site.

The City of Renton establishes ratios according to its wetland classification system, then further defines ratios depending on the wetland vegetation class. The City of Tukwila Municipal Code establishes a replacement ratio of 1.5:1 independent of wetland class. However, modifications to Type 1 and 2 wetlands Draft Wetlands Discipline Report 34 May 2004 Strander Boulevard Extension City of Renton DRAFT are subject to administrative review and approval by the City of Tukwila and more stringent mitigation ratios may be required. Required mitigation following the local jurisdiction ratios is presented in Table 5.3. Wetland buffer enhancement would also be required to compensate for buffer impacts. The extent of required buffer enhancement is determined by each local jurisdiction and is based on improving functional attributes of the impacted buffer. For example, the City of Renton requires that enhanced buffers are not less than 25 feet wide and that greater reductions require a variance from the sensitive area regulations on a per-project basis.

These suitable wetland mitigation areas are being considered for inclusion in a wetland mitigation bank. Credits generated from the bank could compensate for impacts associated with Alternative 1. However, mitigation bank approval can be a time- consuming process compared to concurrent mitigation projects. Some land under consideration for the wetland bank may be used for concurrent mitigation to compensate ' for impacts associated with Alternative 1. A detailed mitigation proposal for unavoidable wetland impacts would be prepared ' during the permit phase. Mitigation proposals are subject to approval by the Corps of Engineers, Ecology, and/or the City of Renton and City of Tukwila. 5.3 Alternative 2: Construction of a Roadway Underpass Cross-Valley Link, Relocation of the Union Pacific Railroad Track, and Modification of SW 27th Street to Five Lanes The impacts to wetlands associated with Alternative 2 would be identical to those discussed above under Alternative 1.

' 5.4 Alternative 3: Construction of a Roadway Underpass Cross-Valley Link, Union Pacific Railroad Track Not Relocated, and Modification of SW 27th Street to Five Lanes ' Wetland impacts associated with Alternative 3 would be similar to those outlined under Alternatives 1 and 2. All impacts resulting along SW 27th Street would be identical. The profile required for adequate vertical clearance under the railroad bridge structures would result in the modification to existing properties and businesses on the northeast and southeast corners of Strander and West Valley Highway. Impacts to wetlands along the ' railroad tracks would increase beyond those described above for Alternatives 1 and 2, specifically within Wetland Q/R. However, Alternative 3 would avoid impacts to the forested component of this wetland. Alternative 2 would cause impacts to wetlands located between the UPRR track and the Interurban Trail, including impacts to Wetlands A, B, H, I, and J (see Table 5.3). Figures 6.1 through 6.3 show the proposed alignment as ' well as wetland and wetland buffer impacts associated with Alternative 3. The existing project footprint is partially developed in the vicinity of Strander Boulevard ' and SW 27th Street. Under Alternative 3 the overall project footprint is approximately 17.77 acres, with 7.65 acres currently developed and the remaining 10.12 acres undeveloped. 5.4.1 Construction Impacts Direct impacts to wetlands from Alternative 3 would include fill placement in numerous wetlands and buffers located along SW 27th Street and along the railroad tracks (see Figures 6.1 through 6.3). Few wetlands are present between SW 27th Street and the railroad tracks where Strander Boulevard would be extended. Approximately 0.38 acre of wetland impact would result from roadway improvements. In addition, 2.80 acres of buffer impacts would result. Wetland impacts from fill placement would result in a decrease of wetland functions and values performed (see Section 4.2).

Approximately 0.53 acre of wetland creation would be required based on Ecology mitigation ratios (see Table 5.5). However, the amount of required wetland creation may be reduced through incorporating wetland enhancement into mitigation design.
